Many Colorado pot business owners don’t have marijuana backgrounds

One is a former oil man. Another was the president of a company that produced baby sleep positioners.

There’s a boutique real estate developer of an Aspen hotel and a 32-year-old former commercial banker who opened her own consulting company.

The names of some of Colorado’s biggest marijuana moguls are not well known outside the industry — or in some cases, even inside it. Some like it that way, preferring a low profile in a risky business.
